At first it might seem the touch-pad is annoying since sometimes you need to press it twice before an action takes place, but you get used to it after a while. Another downside is that by simply copy pasting a folder of songs does not keep them in the folder but spreads them throughout the playlist in alphabetical order... so then you really need to go and find the songs within the entire playlist and add them one by one to a specific playlist (there are 5 possible ones). If you aren't picky about details like that then overall, this product is not bad!

The sound quality is beyond my expectation and it's light and neat. Had a little problem at the beginning to connect to the computer but after push the reset button it worked fine. Very nice mp3 at this price range.

It worked great for a portable mp3 player for many months. It got sat on a bit at some point and never worked again, for the price it was worth it for sure I feel I had gotten my moneys worth out of it.

Pretty Cool MP3 Player...June 13 2012

This mp3 player is pretty good. I bought it for listening to music, not for the extra features, yet still wanted this product. So far, since I've gotten it, it's worked pretty good. I made sure to read all of the directions because I've skipped them before on my previous mp3 players, and I screwed them up! I always find that when the review has a list of the products pros and cons, I have an easier time sorting what I think about the product. I also like to watch video reviews.

PROS:-Touchpad is near perfect according to responsiveness(I didn't expect this, so I was suprised)-Screen is a good size-Has a built in speaker(okay quality)-Has a hold button(espescially important for the touchpad)-Easy to navigate for the most part-Can play songs at random, through normally, repeating one song, reapeating all, or intro(I'd never heard of this before, but it just plays the intro of each song.)-Camera that can take pictures, and videos-Can bookmark in the middle of a song or audio book-Can play video(I have not tried this, so I don't know it's quality)-Sleek and slim, but not slippery finish and also has an efficient size-You can create Playlists-Good battery life (about 10 hrs)

CONS-Speaker is not extremely loud, so you can't hear it if you go into another room, you'll have to cart it around-Camera and video quality is not great, but you can adjust the brightness level

Just so you know, you'll have to install Coby Media Manager to your computer in order to put songs, videos, and other files on your mp3 player. I didn't get this memo when I purchased this, but it was simple and straight forward to do, if you read the directions!:D This mp3 player comes with a suede-like case, usb cord to charge an sync device, and some decent ear buds. The ear buds always slip out of my ears, but I have trouble with ear buds regularly.:D The sound quality is very good on the ear buds though. For what I was expecting this mp3 went above and beyond. I really like it and have listened to it daily, since it came. My mom has an ipod nano, and I feel like this mp3 player has more features than hers. And it's way cheeper than an ipod nano! I hope this helped you!

(I am not Paul Graves, I am his daughter, but I had to buy this mp3 through his account.)

This is an absolutely fabulous product. Easy to setup and easy to use. I purchased this item for my husband who use to own an older model of a Coby mp3 player. The older model quick working after 2-3 years. This MP3 player has been upgraded. The touchpad works much better than the older model and it has a speaker on the front that has good sound quality for the size of it. It also has a camera which doesn't take bad pictures either. If you are looking for an inexpensive mp3 playler, I would definitely recommend the purchase of this product. It's worth the money spent.

Pretty Good.Feb. 5 2012

I bought this for our middle schooler for Christmas. So far n complaints. I figured the camera quality wasn't going to be great, and sure enough,unless you're outside on a sunny day, the pictures look grainy and dark. But the sound quality, screen quality, ease of use, all make it worth it. My daughter has no problem navigating it, and it really does sound great. The pictures on the screen are very clear and it is nice to have a speaker on the outside as well. I would certainly recommend this to nayone looking to get a simple, basic MP3. My husband was also impressed with how nice it sounded, and he owns an ipod!

In general, it is a good one, but I am disappointed with the speaker. It is simply not loud enough. You have to use earphone if you want to listen.

Still, for the price, it is a good one

Disappointed with this product. Our computer did not always recognize the MP3 when it was plugged in. And the touchpad was sometimes slow to respond. I was also disappointed in the volume of the speaker(s) - the quality of sound was good, but it/they were not very loud.
